Surprise...

Don't you just love surprises?? Even better, surprising your kids with something that you know will make their day! My brother, aka "Uncle Chad", was going to be in the area and we kept it a secret. It was priceless to see the look on Kaleb's face as he practiced football, and realized that Chad was standing there watching! And Karsyn, by that time had already claimed him as her personal jungle gym. We had lots of fun with him while he was here! Hope he comes back soon!!

This football thing is hard...

Football just wears Karsyn out! Things got quiet after we got home from the game and I found her asleep in our room sitting in "the big blue chair!" Had to capture it! Isn't she a cutie!

Sweet Victory...

The football season has officially started! Kaleb had his first football game today, so we all put on our burnt orange (much harder for some than others! Garry sported his OU hat with his Longhorn shirt!) and went out to support our team! And what a team they are... Kaleb had some awesome tackles and a couple of QB sacs! His coach calls him the human wreckingball! However, he prefers BRUISER as noted on the back of his jersey. We (the Longhorns) played the Cowboys, and won in double overtime, 7 to 6! Wow! Kaleb started the game and never came off the field except for half-time! We have a great team and the guys play very well together! Kaleb was tired to say the least... but not too tired to enjoy the rest of the day with a couple of his long time buddies and opponents of the day, Caleb and Jon! We decided that when they all get to Jr. High, they will make a pretty sweet football trio! Enjoy the pics!

Putting the Labor in Labor Day!

Garry really took this Labor Day thing seriously!!! This is him finishing a 10K this morning. For those non-runners in the group... that is 6 miles!! He finished in 55 minutes and 3rd in his division! We were at the finish to cheer him on! We are all so proud of his accomplishment, and can't wait to see him at the finish line of the full marathon he will be running in December!

Summer Fun....

What started out as playing with water guns, slowly moved toward the sprinkler and quickly turned into a drenchfest!! What a way to enjoy your Sunday afternoon! They were having so much fun, I had to capture it!
